[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I have three kids, so I have certainly benefited personally from sibling preference, but I do generally agree with the OP. I wish that DC had more routes into specialized schools than a random lottery with unearned preferences. We need more true test-in/audition magnets in the older grades that give all kids more tailored possibilities.[/quote] What? All the DCPS specialized schools are application based with no preferences. There are only a small number of high-performing charter high schools. [/quote] Yes. That’s my point. There are only a small handful of application only high schools and no application only middle schools. Where is our Bronx Science? Most other major cities in the US have real competitive magnet schools starting in elementary school. In DC, you are at the mercy of luck until high school and even then there aren’t a lot of application schools. [/quote]
